Chances for a Semi Average Student

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Alright.</p>

<p>I am a white, middle class male from Massachusetts.</p>

<p>ACT = 26
SAT = 1690 (yuck)</p>

<p>GPA= 3.67 weighted
I have taken all honors courses, with 3 AP courses. (Psychology, Statistics, and US History)
Top 20% of Class of 275</p>

<p>I will graduate with a total of 8 varsity letters, however, i’m not planning on participating in varsity sports in college.</p>

<p>My EC’s aren’t too strong, due to the fact that most of my week is spent playing sports. I am in the key club and have volunteered, but EC’s aren’t my selling point.</p>

<p>My essays are going to be fantastic, and hopefully my reccomendations will follow suit.</p>

<p>I plan on majoring in Business, and hopefully end up going to law school.</p>

<p>Could you please identify 1. Safeties 2. Matches 3. Reaches</p>

<p>1.Bentley College (EA)(with
interview)</p>

<p>2.Bryant University</p>

<p>3.University of Vermont (EA)</p>

<p>4.University of Maine (Legacy)</p>

<p>5.Northeastern University</p>

<li>University of Colorado at Boulder (EA)</li>
</ol>

<p>Any other colleges you feel match my interests, please post.</p>

<p>Thank you very much for your time.</p>

<p>hmm... I seem to be the one user who never gets responses. Oh well.</p>

3

<p>anyone? I'm really looking for advice</p>

4

<p>In my opinion, you have a very realistic list and I would think you will find a lot of acceptance letters.</p>

5

<p>thanks northeastmom....can somebody please identify matches, safeties, and reaches?</p>

6

<p>To try to pin it down better, it would help to break your sat scores down.</p>

7

<p>okay....sat scores = CR=560 MATH=580 Writing = 550</p>

<p>I know I have answered these before, but from what I know now:
1. Bentley- match/ low reach
2. Bryant- match/safety
3. Northeastern-match/ reach / if I remember you are from Ma (if so more of a reach)
4. U of Maine- match/safety
5. U of Colorado-match</p>

9

<p>Forgot your favorite, how did I do that to you?
U of Vermont-match (I think you'll get in bcs they have a high acceptance rate).</p>

10

<p>speaking as a resident of colorado, your a shoe in at cu boulder (though im not sure you would want to pay such high out of state tuition for a mediocore school)</p>

11

<p>more opinions please</p>

12

<p>........................................</p>

13

<p>You could afford to add some more prestigious schools ie maybe Babson, BU, Skidmore...</p>

14

<p>anyone else?</p>

15

<p>What is your unweighted academic GPA? That's big compared to your test scores.</p>

16

<p>any other opinions?</p>

17

<p>............</p>

18

<p>the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities would be a good match</p>

19

<p>University of Indiana has a good biz school. I don't know about skiing there or how important it is to you. Might also check out Buffalo NY if you want the cold (Canisius, Suny Buffalo).</p>
